 Janik (they/them) | Usually I would just dm one of the board member or post this in a private channel because it's a lower hurdle, but we want to increase our transparency so I'll post this here instead:
Hey, we need to fill out some forms for Google Summer of Code payments, those contain legally binding agreements and banking information. I forwarded the google email to foundation@nixos.org, if desired we can also schedule a call for this, shouldn't take more then ~30mins total. We have to do this before 13.05.2024. Can one of the board members ack' me that they will deal with this?

 ronef | Acking :P | 23:19:28 |
 infinisil | Since it's also relevant here: https://github.com/NixOS/foundation/pull/142 | 23:31:02 |

| ronef | Plan to make this the first in our open comms about the process
Will post in one hour but feel free to let me know if there's any critical comments

 djacu | Looks good Ron! As Jonas commented, no need to over think it. :) | 17:05:23 |
 @joepie91:pixie.town | my two main comments:
- I think 48 hours may not be enough for the community to gain meaningful involvement in this process on the Zulip, if that is the intention - people will need some time to get used to the platform and ruleset
- setting a date for self-nominations seems to be putting the cart before the horse; it states that there is an inclination towards self-nomination (presumably informed by the Zulip discussions?), but then sets a date as if this has already been decided, and that seems in conflict
| 17:08:52 |
| @joepie91:pixie.town | ronef: ^ | 17:09:25 |
| ronef | Will try to clarify but can also comment -
The comment about the next two days is just to clarify that we are now exploring a good amount of items and will plan to communicate the general process by then.
To touch more directly:
- It's not expected to gain meaningful involvement in Zulip over the next 48 hours, rather just defining if/how we are using Zulip and communicating that.
- It's not expected that the this sets a date for self nominations, rather that the process will make that clearer
| 17:13:39 |
| @joepie91:pixie.town | is "We aim to release the initial statement regarding self-nominating by May 3rd" maybe a clearer way to phrase it, in that case? | 17:14:22 |
| @joepie91:pixie.town | to remove the suggestion that "self-nomination" as a procedure is already a certainty | 17:14:38 |
|  @nick_kadutskyi:matrix.org joined the room. | 17:14:43 |
| @joepie91:pixie.town | (if I understand you correctly) | 17:14:59 |
| ronef | Seems fine with me | 17:15:24 |
| ronef | Also was working on this during my night so changed it to be 2 days which is May 4th :) | 17:16:24 |
| ronef | and also a momentous day among folks in far away galaxies. | 17:17:03 |
| raitobezarius | Yeah, I think we didn't agree to the self nomination procedure yet | 17:39:07 |
| raitobezarius | We should discuss this as part of the governance process ronef IMHO | 17:39:13 |
| raitobezarius | (self nomination is a choice) | 17:39:45 |
| ronef | I agree that none of this is yet defined, that's the point of the comm. While we can always keep iterating, I'm just erring on the side of frequent and transparent comms so that the entire community can have constant visibility. | 17:47:34 |
| @joepie91:pixie.town | the flipside is that mentioning specific options can prime expectations | 17:49:43 |
| ronef | Regarding dates, I'm iffy on the request to remove dates since I do want to have accountability on faster iterations. Worst case, if a date must move we can communicate and I'm sure it'll be understood? | 17:49:57 |

While we can always keep iterating, I'm just erring on the side of frequent and transparent comms so that the entire community can have constant visibility. I still think we can ask people to partake in the Zulip to define this | 17:50:22 |
| raitobezarius | Like this can be the first question literally | 17:50:26 |
| raitobezarius | But I would advise not putting it in the comms | 17:50:31 |
